Question
On a certain day in February, the first
high tide occurs at 3 AM, when the wa-
ter rises 6.1 meters higher than aver-
age. The first low tide occurs at 9 AM. At
that time, the water is 1.7 meters lower
than average.
On this particular day, the tides were at
their midline exactly at midnight, t = 0.
The tides on this day can be modeled by
a periodic function. Create a model that
represents the height of the tide on this
day.
